Our Review of Blackmail
Blackmail is a crime thriller about a guy who gets blackmailed after accidentally getting involved in a cocaine smuggling case. GV Prakash Kumar does a good job in the lead, with Srikanth and Teju Ashwini adding to the cast, but the story feels contrived with gimmicky twists and convenient writing that doesn’t hold up well. It tries to build suspense, but ends up being middling and insensitive in parts. Okay for a one time thriller watch, but nothing memorable.
What Worked
- Gripping blackmail premise with twists – trailer builds suspense that hooks you right away.
- GV Prakash Kumar’s intense performance – brings real depth to the lead role.
- Sam CS’s music – amps up the thriller vibes perfectly.
What Didn’t Work
- Trailer might tease too much – hope the full story has more surprises.
- Mid budget could limit scale – relying on script to carry the intensity.
- Release clash with other films – needs strong opening to stand out.
